Fourteen standout photography students from Texas Tech University's Department of Agricultural Education & Communications photographed the spring branding tradition of New Mexico's Wrye Ranch, located some 60 miles southeast of Albuquerque. Led by instructor Lindsay Kennedy, the class members spent three days based at the ranch's bunk houses and roamed across the high desert building on their photography portfolios. The trip to the Wrye Ranch was part of a two-week “maymester” course, ACOM 2303 Digital Imaging in Agriculture. This was the second year the course has been offered during the quick summer semester, which puts students in an experiential, field-based classroom to learn photography.
